Corner to Palace...
Crystal Palace 0-0 Bournemouth
This game has been a really good watch so far. Ryan Fraser is seeing plenty of the ball on the left for Bournemouth.
Only Huddersfield have scored fewer home goals than Crystal Palace this season. They look keen to attack here despite Fraser's early promise.
Crystal Palace 0-0 Bournemouth
There's always at least one game on the final day that ends 5-4 or something similar. Early signs suggest it could be this one.
Bournemouth now race down the right flank but Ryan Fraser slips at the crucial moment as he tries to convert in the area.

My word.
Almost a stunner from Palace captain Luka Milivojevic.
He belts one from the edge of the box but it skims away off the outside of the left-hand post. Travers wasn't getting near that one.
Crystal Palace 0-0 Bournemouth
Crystal Palace are playing in their kit for next season today. No drastic changes but I must say it's smart.
The hosts think they're in behind early but Michy Batshuayi is flagged offside.
Cherries keeper Mark Travers saved his effort anyway.

Mr East gives us a peep of his whistle and we're under way for the final time this season.
Roger East is reffing today.
This will be his final match before he retires.
It's also his birthday, Match of the Day commentator John Roder informs me.
"And I'm...
"Glad all over," sing the Palace fans.
There's a decent atmosphere for this season finale.
Here come the players...
Crystal Palace v Bournemouth (15:00 BST)
Crystal Palace have made two changes for their final game of the season against Bournemouth at Selhurst Park.
Patrick van Aanholt comes in for the injured Scott Dann while Max Meyer replaces Jordan Ayew.
Goalkeeper Julian Speroni is not in the squad. He will leave the club after 15 years at the end of the season but asked Roy Hodgson not to pick him for sentimental reasons.
Palace XI: Guaita, Ward, Van Aanholt, Milivojevic, Meyer, Townsend, Zaha, McArthur, Batshuayi, Wan-Bissaka, Kelly
Subs: Hennessey, Kouyate, Benteke, Wickham, Sako, Dreher, Riedewald
Bournemouth are unchanged from last week's win over Tottenham.
Teenage goalkeeper Mark Travers starts again in goal after an impressive debut.
Bournemouth XI: Travers, Cook, Ake, Lerma, Ibe, Wilson, Smith, King, Clyne, Fraser, Simpson.
Subs: Boruc, Mousset, Hyndman, Taylor, Mepham, Butcher, Surridge
Crystal Palace v Bournemouth (15:00 BST)
Hello.
Most people will be focusing on the Amex and Anfield today but I'm guessing you're reading this because you are a fan of either Crystal Palace or Bournemouth.
That means it matters.
There may not be a title to play for or relegation to be avoided but everyone wants to finish their season on a high.
A win for either side would see them achieve their highest Premier League points total in a 38-game season.
So it all comes down to this.
The big one.
The one we've all been waiting for.
The battle for 12th...
